What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on systems-level engineering or ML-enabled sensing, where I can optimize performance, contribute to end-to-end product delivery, and work in collaborative teams that value impact and technical rigor.

I am a software engineer focused on high-performance video systems, embedded sensing, and full-stack development. I build optimized, production-ready systems — from multi-threaded C/C++ media pipelines and custom networking protocols to responsive web GUIs and cloud-integrated IoT solutions — with measurable performance gains such as an 80% CPU utilization reduction following Intel GPU migration.

I bring hands-on research and industry experience across video encoding, mmWave sensing, DSP, and data pipelines, and have published work at ACM Mobisys. I thrive on solving low-level performance problems, deploying end-to-end products, and collaborating with stakeholders to deliver robust, well-engineered solutions.
